XOHimitsuOX Posted January 13, 2012 Once again, i decided to give Kaori a another face-up. My previous attempts are hand brushing Kaori's face ended up as failures, then resorting to masking then airbrushing the face-up. As i was never satisfied with the results and i really wanted to do a nice face-up by hand brushing it. I was thinking of getting the Volks Make-up paint set, but found it a bit too expensive. I got some acrylic paints, retarder medium and gloss crystal varnish from an arts and crafts store and found these paints a lot easier to paint with a paintbrush than the Tamiya Acrylic paints. Here is Kaori's new face-up, this is my best attempt and i'm satisfied with the outcome IMGP5097 by XOHimitsuOX, on Flickr IMGP5101 by XOHimitsuOX, on Flickr IMGP5106 by XOHimitsuOX, on Flickr Unexpectedly,while i was in the arts and crafts store i saw some hand painting colour t-shirts (very cheap) and thought maybe it could be the right size for my girls. I just bought one to test and it fits perfectly, i ended up going back to get some more IMGP5116 by XOHimitsuOX, on Flickr I just remembered that i got Alna on Jan 4th last year. I just made an apron for her anniversary present IMGP5113 by XOHimitsuOX, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Traveller Posted January 13, 2012 Great face up. Make think that when i come to create "Sayaka" & "Phoniex" later in the year is to look at using a light brownish/flesh color around the eyes instead of black. Also love Alna's new apron, so if it's ment for cooking, she be making some great dishes, of if it's ment to be a workshop apron, I'll think it might be best to keep the M16 away from her as she might be tempted to creat some custom made bullets.

mitsuki Posted January 13, 2012 Kaori is so lovely! That is such a beautiful faceup. Alna is so cute in that apron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted January 14, 2012 Awww, Kaori's new faceup makes her look so much younger! She's very cute! Nice work on her sir! And Alna seems to like her apron... but I was so not thinking I'd see THAT style apron on her.... or that she would have clothing on underneath it. I'm so bad....

scripple Posted January 14, 2012 I really hope Alna likes cooking or something, or else an Apron as an anniversary present is gonna get you in trouble. It's up there with getting her a vacuum cleaner or something like that. Nice work on the face up. Check out my new DollFun website. Share your own doll photos with free image hosting.

Innocentsake Posted January 15, 2012 Kaori's new face-up is so nice, very soft and oh so feminine And that's great that you found shirts that fit your girls, always nice to find things like that when you aren't looking Will Alna be cooking up a storm now that she has her new apron or perhaps dabble in some crafts?

Poofiemus Posted January 15, 2012 Kaori's new faceup is so crisp and dainty! She does feel a little younger in these shots, though that may be because she doesn't have her glasses on. I must be a huge dweeb though, because when I saw that apron on Alna, my first thought wasn't "cooking" or "cleaning" but "ceramic", and thus I pictured her wearing it while sitting in front of a pottery wheel. XD In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XD LOL! It's not just you! The image that went thru my head was from "Calvin and Hobbes" where they make things from clay and Hobbes says he wants a smock... and continues on for 2 strips going "I love my smock, it rocks, and I'm tops in my smock! Smock, smock, smock! I love saying that!" Classic comics! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking of getting black paint, but thought that it would be too bold and went for shades of brown instead. You'll see what the apron was for Kaori is so lovely! That is such a beautiful faceup. Alna is so cute in that apron. Thanks, she thinks so too... I wonder why..... Awww, Kaori's new faceup makes her look so much younger! She's very cute!
